Photosynthesis occurs when a plants chlorophyll collect energy from the sun, producing a nutrient which helps the plant flourish. The leaves of a plant are flat and act as solar panels, collecting as much sunlight as it can.

WELL, LET'S GO

The process by which plants make food is called "photosynthesis". The word "photosynthesis" is made up of two words:

"photo" = light

"synthesis" = putting together
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil; put them together (in the presence of light energy and chlorophyll) to produce sugar (glucose) and oxygen.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. Both chlorophyll and light energy need to be present for photosynthesis to take place, but they are not used up in the process.

Thus, the process of photosynthesis can be represented as follows:

carbon dioxide + water chlorophyll
→→→→→→→→
light energy sugar (glucose) + oxygen

Some of the sugar produced during photosynthesis is used by the plant for its life processes (such as growing and reproducing); the excess is converted mainly to starch and stored in various plant parts which may be used as food by animals and humans.

Oxygen produced during photosynthesis replenishes the oxygen that was used up by living things during respiration ...

This cycle of photosynthesis and respiration maintains the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen on earth.

6 CO2(g) + 12 H2O(l) + photons → C6H12O6(aq) + 6 O2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen + water. Then that's it.

I hope I have helped. ^.^

If they gave IVs of pure water in the emergency room to people who are dehydrated, what would happen?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>B. blood cells would be in a hypotonic solution, so water would rush into the cell causing it to expand and eventually burst</em>.

Explanation:

Cells have a certain solute concentration that produces an osmotic pressure of aproximately 300 mOsm. For that reason, IVs solutions must have a solute concentration which equals the cell osmotic pressure. That is usually acomplished by using an aqueous solution of NaCl 0.9% w/v or 5% w/v Glucose.

If an IV of pure water is administrated to a person, the blood cells will be in a hypotonic solution. That is, with a concentration lesser than the concentration inside the cells. Due to the difference in concentration, a net flow of water will be produced from the exterior to the cell interior. As the volume of the cell is increased, the cell membrane is damaged and eventually the cell will collapse.

What does photosynthesis produce? What are these products used for?
Doss [256]

Answer:

photosynthesis produces glucose which is stored as starch in the plant.

Explanation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ -----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂(as a waste product for plants)

Photosynthesis reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which reduces the green house gasses in the atmosphere which reduces the green house effect.
